Trapping exceptions in AArch64 are optional. The relevant exception
control bits in FPCR are are defined as RES0 hence the absence of
support can be detected by reading back the FPCR and comparing with
the desired value.
As recently discussed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00670.html>, it
doesn't seem particularly useful for libm-test-ulps files to contain
huge amounts of data on ulps for individual tests; just the global
maximum observed ulps for each function, together with the
verification of exceptions, errno and special results such as
infinities and NaNs for each test, suffices to verify that a
function's behavior on the given test inputs is within the expected
accuracy. Removing this data reduces source tree churn caused by
updates to these files when libm tests are added, and reduces the
frequency with which testsuite additions actually need libm-test-ulps
changes at all.
Accordingly, this patch removes that data, so that individual tests
get checked against the global bounds for the given function and only
generate an error if those are exceeded. Tested x86_64 (including
verifying that if an ulps value is artificially reduced, the tests do
indeed fail as they should and "make regen-ulps" generates the
expected changes).

IEEE 754-2008 defines two ways in which tiny results can be detected,
"before rounding" (based on the infinite-precision result) and "after
rounding" (based on the result when rounded to normal precision as if
the exponent range were unbounded). All binary operations on an
architecture must use the same choice of how tininess is detected.
soft-fp has so far implemented only before-rounding tininess
detection. This patch adds support for after-rounding tininess
detection. A new macro _FP_TININESS_AFTER_ROUNDING is added that
sfp-machine.h must define (soft-fp is meant to be self-contained so
the existing tininess.h files aren't used here, though the information
going in sfp-machine.h has been taken from them). The soft-fp macros
dealing with raising underflow exceptions then handle the cases where
the choice matters specially, rounding a copy of the input to the
appropriate precision to see if a value that's tiny before rounding
isn't tiny after rounding.
Tested for mips64 using GCC trunk (which now uses soft-fp on MIPS, so
supporting exceptions and rounding modes for long double where not
previously supported - this is the immediate motivation for doing this
patch now) together with (a) a patch to sysdeps/mips/math-tests.h to
enable exceptions / rounding modes tests for long double for GCC 4.9
and later, and (b) corresponding changes applied to libgcc's soft-fp
and sfp-machine.h files. In the libgcc context this is also tested on
x86_64 (also an after-rounding architecture) with testcases for
__float128 that I intend to add to the GCC testsuite when updating
soft-fp there.
(To be clear: this patch does not fix any glibc bugs that were
user-visible in past releases, since after-rounding architectures
didn't use soft-fp in any affected case with support for
floating-point exceptions - so there is no corresponding Bugzilla bug.
Rather, it works together with the GCC changes to use soft-fp on MIPS
to allow previously absent long double functionality to work properly,
and allows soft-fp to be used in glibc on after-rounding architectures
in cases where it couldn't previously be used.)

This patch moves the AArch64 port to the main sysdeps hierarchy. The
move is essentially:
git mv ports/sysdeps/aarch64 sysdeps/aarch64
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64
The README is updated and I've updated ChangeLog.aarch64 along the
lines of the ARM move. The AArch64 build has been tested to confirm
that there were no changes in objdump -dr output or the shared
objects.
